New screenshot’s of a post-beta build of Windows 8 have leaked onto the web today, revealing new and improved features to the set-up and out-of-box experience. Changes include a new loading screen, the return of the old boot screen and more.

New images leaking from WinUnleaked have today revealed new changes to a post-beta version of Windows 8.

As clearly seen in the screenshot, the progress bar is looking more like Windows Phone.
